My timing was off on the cams about 5-8 teeth, the car ran, but pretty rough. So I decided to take off the belt and re-align the timing marks. I followed all the instructions here on vFaq, and when I get done the car started, but wouldnt stay at idle??...but when I revved it up it was fine. How would I knowif maybe I have the timing 180 degrees off, or idk what else it would be, the cars has been sitting for a month, and the ECM reset... any suggestions would be appreciated.

~the car cranks over, and it feels like its about to catch, then it dies, I try it again and it just cranks, doesnt even seem to start to go. I have pulled the plugs and there is definately gas on the plugs and in the cylinders.

~idk if there is too weak of a spark, or a stuck injector or what...

:thumbdown :cry: :confused:
 
I did when I was doing work on the piping and stuff, but its back in now...
